Summary: Sakai Yuuji, a high school student who expected his normal life to last forever, is dead. When he was on his way home he witnessed a shocking view as the world suddenly froze: people were engulfed by blue flames and a monster resembling a large doll swallowed them. Just as the monster prepared to consume Yuuji, a sword-wielding girl in black attire with flaming red eyes and hair that burns like embers saved him from the monster. The girl called herself a "Flame Haze" who hunts the "Guze no Tomogara", creatures from another world. As Yuuji noticed a blue flame in his chest, she called him a "Torch", a temporary replacement, saying that the "real" Yuuji's existence had already ended. Unfazed, Yuuji befriended the strange girl, named her "Shana", and joined her fight against Tomogara and other Flame Hazes.

I can see where people are calling this anime similar to bleach, how saki can see dead people and everything, however this anime really does differ a whole lot. I've watched about like 250 eps of bleach, and i can tell you this anime has some differences. To start off, romantic feelings are displayed (however they are slight, if you want to see the most romantic bit of the anime, the end of the final ep of season 3 should do it for ya ;D). Anyways, i think this anime can be cute at times, and has a nice balance of action, and i guess what you can (read more)

There are few stories that will keep me fully interested.. however I realized by episode 12 I was loving every moment of this series.

In short its epic... not in a dynamic sense but in a fundemental and sincere sense The Story is one that others have touched on before but deliveres it very new.. Ironically I found it a bit like soul eater.. even gives off simular vibes.. however just like that one.. its so original in its delivery which doesnt make sense. Its things we always hear about in Japanes anime... however its so detailed so fresh that (read more)

In terms of story... well, someone the "Flame Haze" and all other elements are unique, but the character itself is somehow boring.

I've watched this when i heard that it was quite good. But overall, it's not THAT good and sometimes, it feels boring as well.

Shana was just decent, she ain't some "Best character" like most of the fans said she is. And the male was even worse, he can't do a single thing in season one... felt like an ornament for the anime.

Fans, you can rage in any you like but this AIN'T on the best anime list or whatsoever. (read more)

Now, I will have to say that this anime has placed first in the list of anime that I watch that are not naruto, bleach or any other widely known anime. The story is practically the only place where I find any fault at all; the romantic part of the story takes a back seat far too much to the explanation of enemy characters. The fight scenes between the opposing sides are a spectacle to behold, especially for 2005 animation. The best part in my opinion just happens to be CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Generic ideas can be very useful in creating a unique (read more)

The plot is very original, the story progression seems stable yet the character personalities and interactions are kinda generic though which I think is its only bad point but that depends on how you -the viewer- perceive it. So overall I gave this anime an average rating.
